When you insert a table Nisus Writer Pro creates a new style in your document (if one does not
already exist in your Nisus New File) called Table Cell. If the table you insert has either a column
header and/or a row header, Nisus Writer Pro creates a style called Table Header. The Table Cell
style is based on the Normal style in your document and the Table Header style is based on the
Table Cell style. You can modify these styles using the Style Sheet view of your document.
Determine the size (number of rows/columns) of a table
When you choose New Table… from the menus Nisus Writer Pro presents a sheet in which you
determine how many rows and columns your table will have. You can increase and/or decrease the
number whenever you need.
